Arsenal are so determined to land Thomas Partey that they will make a move for him with or without Champions League football, according to goal.com.
Arsenal have made Partey their top target this summer, with Mikel Arteta a big fan of the Atletico Madrid midfielder.
The Ghanian is said to be aware of Arsenal’s interest in him, and he would be keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal know that getting a deal done is complicated, but they have multiple plans to get him.
If Arsenal can make it into the Champions League then there is a chance that they could land him for £44 million.
However, if the Gunners don’t make it into Europe’s top competition there could still be a way to get hold of the defensive midfield.
Arsenal are prepared to offer a trade deal to Atleti, as they know their budget could be short.
Arsenal would be prepared to offer Alexandre Lacazette in the hope of landing some money off the Ghanian, if they are unable to make it into the Champions League again.
Arsenal are currently in ninth place in the Premier League, with the Gunners due to start their season again with a game against Manchester City in just over a week’s time.
